"Love my Ascend" - Review of Marmot Ascend Jacket - Men's

I bought this jacket in Fall 2007 and used it extensively then and during the Winter and Spring. Wore it alone on warmer Fall/Spring days and when snoeshowing and xc skiing during the Winter. On colder days or when less active, I layered a 100 wt. fleece underneath. Perfect! Jacket fits snugly, but moves with me and I can fit a light fleece underneath. Fabric has held up really well. No tears from tree branches and thorny bushes on hikes. I have not worn this in a downpour, but can report that it is very waterproof during light, steady rains. My only quibble is that the pitzips are difficult to rezip while you have the jacket on. Not sure why, but I definitely find it much easier to take the jacket off, zip up the pitzips, the put the jacket back on. Overall, this jacket is fabulous and was a good choice for my needs. Well done, once again, Marmot!
